Never said it was, in fact I admitted a flaw when I proposed it as well.

Two reasons, I'm still not certain of his guilt, my case was fairly weak, but he fits the bill for the profile I've formed and most importantly, self-preservation and the vote was for somebody I suspected.

You seem awfully ready to attack the plan Durelin, why? Just because I propose for the gifteds to possibly reveal themselves doesn't mean it's going to happen, it's to give the idea and see what happens.

Because I find you suspicious for your suggestion of it, and would like to see you defend it in order to get a better feel for you.

And why am I attacking you rather vehemently? Because you suggested that the only reason anyone here disagrees with you is because we're not as intelligent as the phantom.

Shocked?

Yes, but only one of several.

Why are you still arguing this point, Morm? They can't reveal at the same time, remember? It doesn't matter whether your plan is good, bad, or indifferent– we can't do it.

Think of it this way Nerwen, out of the few most likely wolf targets, who is also most likely to have been protected? I am 90% certain it was me but because I open my yapper and give a plan all attention is diverted to the plan. For that reason (all the attention to the plan and not on finding baddies) I regret presenting it.

So that's the real issue then? You felt I insulted your intelligence. I can assure you it was not meant as such. I meant more that this scheme would be to his liking and tactics. Not that he's more intelligent and therefore would understand it.

Nerwen, they can't both revel themselves? Huh, that's odd because I think I've mentioned that I realize that now. *sigh*

This is the problem with proposing any plan, somebody puts himself out there and tries to help out and it backfires nearly every time. Everybody jumps up and down pointing a finger..."Hey he said we should do something that I don't agree with he must be evil....KILL HIM!!!" Good mob mentality at work and all the while the real baddies are slipping through cracks and I'm forced to defend and redefend my position.

I'm the only one who has so far suggested you are evil, other than Sally (but what's new there)...don't act so victimized already.

Well, okay...Nerwen did vote for you yesterDay...

Sally and Nerwen don't count.

In looking over the voting it is important to note that Durelin was the last to vote for Alona, my gut tells me these wolves aren't overly brazen and wouldn't go for that approach. I continue to think Durelin innocent of being a wolf.

Nerwen, Nienna, Mira and Sally (less on Sally) really poured on the votes for me at the end...disclaimer, I can't remember when Mira voted I think it was before Nienna and Nerwen. Anyway those are two suspects who seem to have wanted to save their compatriot. However, as I've brought up and others too Nerwen fits the bill for the cobbler.

I cannot remember Nienna voicing any major suspicion of me yesterday. Perhaps I'll go back and check but not now as it is bed time. If Nienna is innocent and how no strong suspicions of me why would she vote for me to possibly save Alona? The only reason is she felt Alona was very innocent, which is hard to believe. Otherwise a guilty Nienna could very easily have wanted to save her pack mate and saw that I was the most likely target other than Alona and went for me.

Again, I hope to review and see if she had any major suspicion of me but if any of you Europeans have time to do it while I sleep it would be great.

What the-? Didn't you retract and then vote Morm again?

The only one? Morm nearly got the chop yesterDay– I reckon he's got something to feel victimised about. On the other hand, that edginess was there all yesterDay too– it's mainly why I voted him.

It now seems unlikely he's a wolf, though.

I still don't get why morm is so confident he was attacked last Night. You can't know stuff like that, and if I had to start naming probable wolf kills, morm wouldn't even be in my top five. And even if he was protected last NIght, it doesn't make him innocent - he could still be the bear. So I don't see why anybody should believe any part of morm's claim.

I'm sorry to see Shasta go. Not only because he didn't get to play much, but obviously also because he was the ranger. With both the seer and the ranger gone, our future looks quite gloomy. We really had better keep lynching baddies.

Speaking of which, I'm glad you ended up lynching Alona. (If Form is the bear, that would've been better but good anyway. ) I think I'll go through Alona's posts and possibly even what people have said about her - if I have time - it could be useful.

Now I'm to comment what happened yesterDay after I went to sleep and then I will have at least some sort of look at Alona.
